silverGTSaleen · Feb 15, 2004

I just wanted to get yalls opinion of what finish to get, I have decided to got with the Eagle Alloy Cobra R 18x9. But dont know if I should got with the Chrome, polished or just silver to match my car, I havent really seen a whole lot of Opal Frost Mustangs with the Chrome or the Polished finishes , I was fixing to get the Silver ones but I figure ill ask around first, let me know what yall think

Thanks
Josh

Can't beat chrome IMO. I have chrome tri-stars on my teal car and get compliments constantly. Polished looks good too but it's usually not a whole lot less and just doesn't look the same. Just my .02

Chrome.
I guess you figured out how to do a poll.

But you really dont need a poll to get an answer to that question, unless you want to find out WHO has WHICH rims.

No, i just want to find our what other people think would look good on my car, ya dig?

I LOVE opal frost GT's, they are one of my favorites. If the silver is a VERY close match it'd look cool, but I'd opt for the polished. I am forever against chrome wheels now that I've owned them... maybe it was because I had a cheap set but my chrome flaked in 1 year. It might also have to do with the salt they put on the roads up here in the north to melt the ice as that stuff is NASTY. You might be OPK with chrome down in TX, but I'm opting for polished for my next set of wheels (which I just ordered last week). Chrome looks great and requires little upkeep compared to polished, but polished will look good forever if you maintain them, chrome on the otherhand will not as there's not much you can do once they begin to peel other than getting them re-chromed which is $$$. Its all up to you, but I'd go with chrome/polished over the silver unless the silver is a pretty much dead on match to your color.

Yeah, if you are going chrome, make sure you get a decent set. The salt got to my rims last year also and they are starting to peel in a few of the little nooks, wish i had my beater then.

I think the silver painted would look the best.

silverGTSaleen · Feb 15, 2004

Man that looks so much like my car its SCARY!
You got anymore pics with those wheels, like some side shots?

Smeckel · Feb 15, 2004

That's a fine looking automobile

I like polished cuz there is nothing on it to chip off or peel or become pitted. And it looks ALMOST as good as the chrome wheels.

SuperDust22 · Feb 15, 2004

I vote chrome!

silverGTSaleen · Feb 15, 2004

Thanks, all i need now is some photoshoping done to see the difference with the chrome and polished

Here a good point since i have Big ol' chrome tail pipes shouldnt I get chrome wheels to match it, since it the only exterior chrome on the car?

jmuva44 · Feb 15, 2004

Well chrome looks good on ANY dark car. Thats an unfair tactic!! lol I still vote for polished cuz they are cheaper and chrome tends to pit after a while.

BlueOvalStangGT · Feb 15, 2004

pushrod, do you have spacers up front?

silverGTSaleen · Feb 15, 2004

Does anybody have any pictures of an Opal Frost GT with Chrome, or Polished Wheels?

WyldHorse0705 · Feb 15, 2004

Chrome or poslished always looks good lol

Pushrod · Feb 15, 2004

BlueOval...no spacers

silverGTSaleen · Feb 15, 2004

Need more votes, let the opinions flow!

Still need a pic with polished wheels, dont think ive ever seen one
What do yall think of the whole tail pipe matching the wheel thing? Make any since?

I vote for polished... not a big fan of chrome for the fact that it can flake off.
